West Ham is still in this. They have difficult fixtures coming up, plus distraction from the conference league. Their last two games would be relegation deciders which could go either way.

Big credit to Bournemouth for what they've achieved - I didn't give them a hope in hell of survival; very impressive.
The should be able to get 4 points from the last two. 38 points will be enough. Leeds below them have even tougher fixtures, one less as well.
I think 35 points will be enough to stay up. If they can't even muster a draw against Leeds or Leicester, then maybe they deserve to go down after all.
Another thrashing for Leeds. Jesse Marsch couldn't have been worse than this Gracia fella they've got in! At least under Marsch, the players looked like they were trying!
Big game tonight between Leicester and Everton. I do expect Leicester to stay up in the end and then Southampton (who are already finished), Everton and Leeds to go down. Forest looked doomed but are showing some life last couple of games.
First half, Everton losing, an incredible miss from Calvert Lewin and looks like a serious injury to Seamus Coleman.
I don't think this is going to be Everton's night.

Can’t believe Everton could go down…
Would be really weird to see Everton go down but their next two fixtures are against an in form Brighton and then City.
Edit- fecking hell, Leeds and Leicester have had hardly got nice fixtures either

I think Saints and Everton are done. Forest or Leeds to join them?
Leicester to stay up.
Leicester to stay up.

Leeds, Forest, Soton to go down. Everton won't flush.
I was joking about needing to get to the 40 point mark a few weeks ago. We were on 39 points at the time. Palace were on 27 points and they’ve reached 40 points before us
Mathematically they're still in it, but even if they're not getting any points for the rest of the season, the possibility of 3 teams below them can harness enough points to leapfrog WestHam is super low.
One point gaining game is scarce for those teams, let alone 3 pointer. Leeds looks like they too wouldn't get any point. Everton IMO best hope to get 2 points and play tight to win on GD against Leeds, Nottingham Forest,
As long as Leeds go down it's all good.
I do not like rooting for Everton to go down, but the EPL is much better without that ankle kicking, kidney punching blow hard... Dyche, out of it. Can't stand him.
I doubt it'll reach 40 points. 36/37 and you'll be safe,
Agreed. I think it's between Everton, Leeds, Forest, Southampton and Leicester.
Bolded already gone and italic in most danger.
Well with those fixtures Chelsea are getting at most 3 pointsI was joking about needing to get to the 40 point mark a few weeks ago. We were on 39 points at the time. Palace were on 27 points and they’ve reached 40 points before us
Yup I think the same, there's danger that West Ham might not pick another point up this season, but doubtful so think they'll scrap through.

Leicester have a difficult run in.... They could still be in trouble !!
They could, but they also play two teams who are already booking their holiday destinations and avoiding injuries in Fulham and (most likely) West Ham on the final day. Fulham are also missing a few key players.
C'mon Forest...

If Southampton were to win today, they are not completely out of it with a drifting Fulham at home next. Anything less than a win and they are gone, but a win really does mean anything is possible.
On Monday, but yeah agreed. Can't see them getting all three points away though. Probably a boring draw.
Leeds Leicester and Forest all have a tough run in and sat on 30 points each with Leeds now on 35 played after today and West Ham play all three. To be fair Everton have two tough ones on paper.
Hopefully we can do our job tomorrow and keep West Ham on 34 points.
Leicester do have Vardy and some others, you never know they have the ability get something out of a difficult fixture. Perhaps I'm going for two of Leeds Forest and Everton to go down with Southampton. So fecking close.

There's few sets of fans more rabid, or more delighted in messing us up than Everton.
It's their time to go.
Looking at that list of fixtures I think Leeds are bang in trouble.
WHU have it in their own hands with 3 against fellow strugglers. Everton’s fixtures look favourable (apart from City) and I assume Soton are as good as relegated already.
Chelsea, Bournemouth and Wolves are safe now.
Calculated. He knew what he was doing all along. Well played frank.
and everybody thought he couldn't save a team from relegation look at him now, so proud of you Frankie boy.
Becoming a specialist at saving clubs that man.
Bournemouth have done well. They were last for quite a while weren’t they?
Disagree. They shouldn’t get anything from Brighton or City.
Wolves have picked up 29 of their points from home games (10th best), they’ve only got 11 in their away games (17th best).
Bournemouth have picked up 17 points away (12th best) and they have got 18 at home (18th best).
So if form is anything to go by they’re looking at 1 point against Bournemouth.
He could carve out a career like Big Sam of the last decade as a relegation fight specialist.
And then there were five.

Looking at those fixtures makes me think they're all going down.
Leicester are in serious trouble, It breaks my heart to say it but I think we are getting relegated.
One win is all it takes
To keep us up
